A Cytoplasmic pH Sensor Redefines Gating in Bacterial Urea Channels and Acid Resistance

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Bacterial survival in acidic environments requires pH‐gated urea channels. Utilizing complementary approaches, we identify a conserved cytoplasmic glutamic acid residue as a pH sensor in UreI channels. Whereas Gram‐positive bacteria rely solely on this sensor, Gram‐negative bacteria employ a dual‐sensor mechanism with periplasmic residues, revealing a ...

Synthetic Cells With Chemo‐Optical Signaling Enable Targeted Capture and Killing of Bacteria

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The here presented synthetic cells capture bacteria through their internally produced bioluminescence signal and light activated adhesions. Subsequently, they eliminate the captured bacteria in through a locally elevated hydrogen peroxide concentration generated by membrane bound enzyme.

Rational design of a lipophilic β‐galactosidase‐responsive near‐infrared probe for in vivo imaging of cellular senescence

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
We developed a lipophilic near‑infrared probe (DCIP‑AcGal) that is specifically activated by senescence‑associated β‑galactosidase. After intravenous injection, it lights up therapy‑induced tumor senescence in living mice. Its optimized lipophilicity also enables blood‑brain barrier crossing to detect natural brain senescence ex vivo. This probe offers

Oxaziridines: Versatile Reagents in Modern Organic Synthesis

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Being capable of transferring an O atom and N‐group/atom, oxaziridines are considered multitasking agents. These are employed for diverse organic transformations, such as epoxidation of olefins, α‐ and γ‐hydroxylation/amination of carbonyl compounds, oxidation of sulfides, [3+2]cycloaddition with unsaturated systems.
